Comment: this issue consists of one, long-running
composition, which slightly embarks on from nothing, then stepwise evolves being
cranked up in volume and added up with slamming drumming and distorted, warped
hi-hats. Indeed, the result is craftily composed therefore it might be
considered a mystified issue. However, it is feint. With regard to the title of
the track it reminds me of horrendous sea catastrophes being caused by the
human race and oil tankers. For example, the one what happened in the Gulf of
Mexico 6 years ago. Because of this it is not fun at all. Fuck off, those
droning doom chords resemble hundreds of thousands dying sea birds and fishes
and mammals who are killed by the human being's brain as allegedly the most
sophisticated object all around the Universe. The bad thing is this is just a
little part of all the atrocities perpetrated by us against nature. No respect,
no humbleness, just arrogance and exaggerated self-confidence mixed up with
stupidity. It is both against the own species and other species as well. Just
watch daily TV events to get proof against. All is being set up in flames
directly and indirectly. There is no future. The only positive thing in
relation to the human race is to create art in different appearances, which
provides hope and some salvation. These 32 minutes created by Danish Claus
Haxholm over there are thought for it. This is a great issue under the
experimental metal imprint Drowning.
